What does the Apple App Store scraper API do?
The Apple App Store scraper API is a tool that accepts a search query, app name, or App Store URL as input and returns structured data from Apple's App Store, including app listings, ratings, review counts, pricing, developer details, and category rankings, via a single API request. No browser automation, no proxy management, and no CAPTCHA handling required on your side.

With Decodo’s Web Scraping API, you can get the data from Apple’s App Store in just a few simple steps:
- Submit a search query, app identifier, or App Store URL to the API endpoint in your preferred format – Python, Node.js, or cURL.
- Decodo handles JavaScript rendering, anti-detection, and request routing automatically across its infrastructure.
- Receive structured results in HTML, JSON, CSV, XHR, PNG, or AI-ready Markdown output, and pay only for successfully delivered results.

What are the use cases for the Apple App Store scraper API?
How do I track competitor app ratings and reviews over time?

Monitor a competitor's star rating, review count, and review sentiment across regional App Store storefronts. Schedule flexible data collection tasks to track rating changes after app updates, marketing campaigns, or feature releases, feeding the data directly into your in-house infrastructure or AI tools.
How do I collect app market research data at scale?

Research entire app categories by scraping search results for a given keyword or category URL. Extract app names, developers, ratings, pricing, and download indicators across hundreds of apps in a single batch job – building the dataset needed for market sizing, competitive positioning, or opportunity analysis.
How do I monitor my own app's ranking and listing data?

Track your app's search ranking position for target keywords, verify listing accuracy across regional storefronts, and monitor whether your screenshots, descriptions, and pricing display correctly after App Store Connect updates.
How do I build an AI training dataset from App Store reviews?

Collect large volumes of user reviews by app, category, or rating tier. App Store reviews are a high-signal natural language dataset for sentiment classification, feature extraction, and product feedback analysis. Deliver in Markdown format for direct LLM ingestion.

Scrape App Store search results, category charts, and editorial picks to populate a recommendation engine or app discovery product with fresh, structured data – without depending on Apple's official API rate limits or approval process.

Frequently asked questions
How do I start the free trial without a credit card?
Sign up at dashboard.decodo.com and activate the Web Scraping API free plan. No payment details required. The free plan gives you up to 2K requests, access to ready-made scraping templates, and 24/7 support.
How do I cancel my subscription if it's not right for me?
- Cancel at any time from your dashboard account settings. No minimum contract length, no cancellation fee. If you cancel within the first 14 days of a paid plan, a money-back option is available – see the billing FAQ for details.
How do I check whether scraping the App Store is allowed?
Scraping publicly available data from the App Store is generally permissible for research and analysis purposes, though you should review Apple's terms of service for your specific use case. For a full overview of scraping legality, see Is Web Scraping Legal? and How to Check if a Website Allows Scraping. Also, when in doubt, it’s best to consult a legal professional.
How do I get structured JSON output instead of raw HTML?
Set "parse": true in your request payload. For automatic HTML-to-structured-data conversion, see the AI Parser. For AI pipeline use, set the output format to Markdown and feed directly into your RAG pipeline or AI data pipeline.
How do I schedule automated App Store data collection?
Use the built-in scheduling feature in the Decodo dashboard – set a daily, weekly, or custom interval and choose your delivery method: email, webhook, or Google Drive. For code-based scheduling, see how to schedule web scraping tasks and n8n web scraping automation. For storage, see how to save your scraped data.
How does Decodo handle anti-bot measures on the App Store?
Decodo's infrastructure handles JavaScript rendering, request fingerprinting, and IP rotation automatically. You choose the parameters, send a query, and Decodo manages the connection layer. You pay only for successfully returned results.
